Mri for right knee help

It could be literally anything.  Need a definitive diagnosis from an orthopedic surgeon.  Unfortunately, MRIs are often inconclusive.  I had that happen four times, 2X each knee.  In every case, the doc had to scope the knee to find and fix what was wrong.  The last time I "twisted" a knee, I ripped the condyle cartilage clean off the bottom of my left femur.  Easy removal but eventually led to a bone-on-bone situation with arthritis years later ending in a TKR.  Yours could be a torn meniscus, ACL, etc.  Maybe the MRI will show the problem...maybe not.

Hi Lawrence, as Chico said it could be a multitude of things, when I twisted my knee badly, initially I was told that I had torn my muscles and ligaments and was put in a cricket bat splint and crutches for 3 weeks, I was still getting problems a few months on and it turned out I had torn two cartilages as well, which were removed. I also had a badly osteoarthritic knee before that. I would say your quad muscles need strengthening too as I had a similar problem with lifting the leg when I had my kneecap realigned when I was 20. Ask them if you can have some support under your knee when you go into the scanner. I cannot straighten my knee fully so need that whenever I have a scan. Hope you get sorted soon.

Hi Lawrence I totally agree with the guys who have already replied you can't diagnose the problem without the tests to then find out what is wrong you need a professional opinion and diagnosis good luck
